New York Life Insurance Exam Study Guide (State-Specific)

If you are prepping for your resident life license, this video covers the New York-specific laws, rules, and regulations you must know to pass. While national study guides give you the general concepts, New York does things differently. We break down the exact numbers, strict consumer protections, and sneaky exam traps where points are won or lost. From Regulation 187 (Best Interest) and Regulation 60 (Replacements) to the exact grace periods and licensing timelines, we've got you covered. 00:00 - Introduction 01:46 - The Regulator: DFS & the Superintendent 05:07 - Producer Licensing: Agent, Broker, & Getting Licensed 08:57 - Appointments & Keeping Your License Active 11:46 - Unfair & Prohibited Trade Practices 15:47 - Regulation 187: The Best Interest Standard 18:46 - Regulation 60: Replacement 20:52 - Standard Policy Provisions, Pt. 1 (Keeping Coverage in Force) 23:54 - Standard Policy Provisions, Pt.2 (Contestability & Exclusions) 26:29 - The Premium-Due Notice Rule 28:38 - Other Statutory Protections 31:55 - Marketplace, Guaranty Protection, & Life Settlements 35:15 - Exam Logistics 37:35 - Recap Exam Cheat Sheet: • Prelicensing Hours: 20 Hours for Life alone (40 hours for Life, Accident and Health). • Exam Application Window: Must apply within 2 years of passing the exam. • Appointment Filing: Insurer must file within 15 days. • Continuing Education (CE): 15 credits every 2 years (Includes 1hr Law, 1hr Ethics, 1hr Diversity). • Grace Period: 31 days for Fixed Premium / 61 days for Flexible Premium. • Free Look Window: 10 to 30 days ordinary / 60 days for a Replacement policy. • Incontestability and Suicide: 2 years for both. • Reinstatement Window: Within 3 years (Interest on back premiums capped at 6%). • Premium-Due Notice: Mailed 15 to 45 days before the due date. • Guaranty Fund Cap: $500,000 aggregate protection per life (Banned as a sales pitch!). • The Exam (Series 17-51): 100 scored questions, 120 minutes, 70% to pass. Exam Trap Warning: Remember that New York still separates Agents and Brokers. Agents represent the insurance company, while Brokers represent the client/insured. Also, the person at the top is the Superintendent, not a Commissioner! What to Pack for Test Day: 1. Two valid forms of ID (at least one with a photograph). 2. Your original prelicensing school Certificate of Completion. 3. $33 exam fee (paid to PSI during registration).
